Neither of the girls had ever been to San Antonio, or Corpus Christi, Tx so we loaded up the suv and drove down. Of course this was not just a spur of the moment thing and me being the planner that I am took several months to plan this 5 day vacation!
We went down and spent time with extended family so that Nikirhe got to meet her Tia Rachel and Tio Noe.(Little Spanish lesson: Tia = Aunt, Tio = Uncle)
They had an instant bond and it is great that they are going to have a lovely relationship.
We had an amazing time on our visit! We got to visit the Alamo, and since it was raining we decided to forgo the River Walk and just take the girls to Build A Bear! :)
After Build A Bear we took the girls to see our old neighborhood and took them for come Churro's at El Pollo Loco ( The Crazy Chicken). Great chicken btw!
After Churros we took the girls for some art supplies at Asel Art Supply and had to take a picture with the window art!
Then we headed over to my favorite place to get cheap Margaritas and good food for Family and Friends dinner!
We had a blast and can't wait to do it again!
Saturday was road trip to the beach day! Just a short 2.5 hour drive south on I-37 from San Antonio you come to Corpus Christi and if you keep driving just a bit further you come to Padre Island! Otherwise known as "The Island"
The first thing we came to was a great photo op!
Of course I had to get a seflie with the Mermaid! :)
So The beach was awesome! It was very windy and the girls made some lifelong memories! I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the story! :)
